Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef ( the leaner the better)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup saltine crumbs
1 eggs
1 onions, chopped ( if you like a lot, use a med-lg onion, if not a lot, a small one)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a shallow pan with non-stick tin foil or regular foil greased well.
In a large bowl, mix together beef, crumbs, egg, onion, salt, pepper, and one can of tomato sauce.
(HINT: Keep around a box of food service gloves for nasty jobs like this. If you can’t find them, steal a handful from the hospital next time you go or stick your hands down in cheap sandwich-sized zipper bags to keep your hands clean. Just toss out or wash with the dishes.).
Form into a loaf and place in the pan. Mix everything else and pour on top of the meatloaf.
Bake for 1 hr and 15 minute and juices run clear. Baste occasionally. If the meatloaf starts to burn on top, tent with foil.
